Worrying about unannounced/unreleased/unfinished products. Who gives a fuck about a PS5 right now?

Aza's very insecure about the current POS4 hardware if you can't tell.

Protato's running gameboy specs, no backwards compat (He had to send his 300 PS3 games to the nearest Gulag for disposal), shit online, shit controller made for female hands (DualCock), Shit propspects for the future.

If sony's current design team made the PRO, how good can the PS5 look?

It's pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point. Don't act like presuming that it will have BC is preposterous of me.

According to you? Well who are you? Because the deputy president of Sony Interactive Entertainment doesn't see things this way and I'd say his view renders yours pretty preposterous.

“When we’ve dabbled with backwards compatibility, I can say it is one of those features that is much requested, but not actually used much. That, and I was at a Gran Turismo event recently where they had PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games, and the PS1 and the PS2 games, they looked ancient, like why would anybody play this?”

Yes, according to me. I'm a rational thinking human being who can understand quite clearly that he was referring to classic PS1/PS2 backwards compatibility... which is understandable to a degree, since those systems which varied greatly in architecture and technology and their games were out before consoles changed to an ecosystem where your account moves with you. You can stop acting like supporting old classic game backwards compatibility is the same as supporting a smooth transition from your previous generation to the next...especially when the hardware will be the most similar it's ever been.

I'd say his comment does nothing to change what I've said.. and definitely doesn't make it preposterous in the slightest. I mean, do you really think he's asking himself the question "Why would PS5 players want to play PS4 games?" lmao...
